Most ancient human genome found and it’s Denisovan

DNA from a molar in Denisova Cave has been reported in a new paper. It's 200,000 years old, exceeding the previous oldest by 80,000 years. That one was a Neanderthal. This molar was apparently found in a more recent excavation in the cave, not the original 2008 discovery.
